Whatever the circumstances of the
aggression, you are not guilty for what happened. You shouldn't feel ashamed.
As much as possible don't stay alone.

Perhaps you're afraid of the reactions
of your family and friends. You need for people to believe you. Don't be afraid
to call upon a person whom you trust and try to explain what happened, even if
you can't say everything at once. Write it if you aren't able to speak, express
yourself in whatever way works for you

Silence is the first of several obstacles
to overcome: the more you remain silent, the greater the risk of difficulties.

Your revolt is legitimate. You need the aggressor to be found,
that justice is dispensed.

What to do just after the aggression?

Inform the police or the sheriff's
department. Dial 17. Consult a doctor.

The police or the sheriff's office can
bring you to the hospital.

If
possible, keep your dirty clothes or underwear in a paper bag. This may useful
in identifying the aggressor.
